Q. Match the Xenon compounds in Column-I with its structure in Column-II and assign the correct code : [table] Column-I | Column-II ; (a) $XeF_4$ | (i) pyramidal ; (b) $XeF_6$ | (ii) square planar ; (c) $XeOF_4$ | (iii) distorted octahedral ; (d) $XeO_3$ | (iv) square pyramidal [/table]
A) (a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
B) (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
C) (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)
D) (a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
Explanation
